Here we learn how to change the page structure and template.
Page Structure & Template (What is the difference)
Every page has a page structure and a page template. The page structure controls the content of the page whilst the template controls the look. A page structure may have one or many templates attributed to it. Page structures are selected first and templates selected from those attributed to the structure.
Failure to set both a structure and a template together will result in an ugly TemplaVoila! Error on the front-end view. Make sure that both are selected from their respective drop downs.
Setting Page Structure/Template
- Click 'Edit Page Properties'
- Select the 'Page Template Structure' from the drop down
- Select the template from the 'Use Template Design' drop down or by clicking the template icon
- Check that both the Template Structure and Template Design are selected
- Save and Close

Setting Subpage Structure/Template
Set the subpage structure/template in exactly the same way as the page structure/template. The 'Subpages - Page Template Structure' drop-down is underneath the 'Page Template Structure' drop-down.
A subpage will inherit the subpage structure/template unless it has a page structure/template defined (it's subpages would continue to inherit the previously defined subpage structure/template unless the subpage defined its own subpage structure/template).
